  • Has anyone any experience in cleaning md polishing these? I have a similar pair of Barkers and I can’t seem to get them cleaned or polished. I’m pondering using black polish on them as per a previous post.
    There seems to be a coating on the leather of some sort preventing ‘normal’ polishing.
    I should add that i can polish shoes etc.

  • What do you mean by them not polishing - not going shiny? Also are you using cream or polish?

    I'd wash/clean with saddle soap. Leave to dry naturally and condition with whatever you usually use (I use Saphir Renovator cream)

  • I’ve tried both polish and cream. The leather does not seem to ‘take’ the polish as normal shoes would.
    I’ll get some saddle soap and try that.
    I take it that the Black polish would be a bad move?
    Thanks.
